Our terrorists

[El Blanco]

So, what has the US provided? We advise them but is that their fighting Iran or al queda? The article makes implications, but offers no evidence.

What makes them "Our terrorists"?

Like the PLO, Jundallah claims they're fighting for self determination and the creation of an independent Baluchistan. They're banned in both Iran and Pakistan.

That article doesn't mention they're a sub-group of Al Qaeda who most likely double deal and act as our foremost provider of intelligence against the group.

I just see this article as being only partially informed, and Burbanks response as being more then a bit knee jerk as a result. Yeah it's fucked up that the US, along with the UK, Russia, and China are all tangled up with a lot of trendy dissident causes, but look at Hamas if you want to know why. I keep saying it, in the near future, assymetrical warfare will be mainly fought with assymetrical aliances that will change weekly depending on the weather. To some extent you're seeing this happening already.

So is what you're saying that the only difference between policy now and policy for the past 40 years is the frequency of the alliance shifts?
